MS Cotton Vitellius C.V Authors: Temple, Winifred Mary Abstract: In this edition of the British Museum manuscript Cotton Vitellius C. V., I have attempted to give a faithful reproduction of the MS. exactly as it stands. · The MS. was damaged in the fire at Ashburnham House in 1731, and is now defective. The edges of the pages are charred; in some places they are only partly legible. I have transcribed all that I have been able to read: where part of a letter is all that remains, I have given the entire letter where possible, although in many words it is extre_mely diff'icul t to say what the original reading might have been. The MS. has been typed page by page, so that the presentation here is as near the original as possible. The only alteration in the text is the placing of the heading of each homily in a central position above the text. Each homily, moreover, begins on a new page, although there is no such break in the MS. I have set the beginning of each homily at approximately the position it occupies in the MS. arrangement.

Abstract: The following brief and imperfect statement is based chiefly upon the official statistics of which it is an exposition and slight expansion. the material available for such an enquiry in this country is somewhat limited, but in view of the importance attached to the subject, particularly that aspect of it relating to the increase of this dread disease, the writer has collected available information and has sought to give it intelligible form.

Some of my friends have urged me to do so now, and although I am quite aware that it contains much that is crude and some things that are erroneous, and that all that was then new or important in it has since been much better expressed by others, I still think that it is not altogether unworthy of preservation as a contribution to the history of the subject. It is printed verbatim, and I would ask such of my friends as may read it to recollect that it was written eighteen years ago by a medical student. A. C. B. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH, March 1879.
